God Is Good
Hi Everyone, I have not been adding anything for the last two weeks. It is hard to find time to do so. However, since tonight is Saturday night and I have a bit of free time, I thought I better add a few thoughts.
For those of you who do not know, I have been teaching at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) for the past five months. I fly there once every two weeks. I must add at this point that I want to thank God for providing this opportunity for me. The University pays for my airfare and hotel plus a small token of salary.
I usually go to Kota Kinabalu (Capital Of Sabah) on a 9 am flight. However, last week I was shocked to find that my flight was delayed till 1.40pm. I had to make a very quick arrangement with the students so that I can still teach all of them when I get there.
To cut the story short, I got to the University at 4pm and taught till 9pm. (I teach Viola). By 9pm, I was tired and hungry. The taxi driver, uncle Lim took me back to the hotel and I checked in.
When I opened the door, I was shocked to find that the room is so huge. It is actually a suite with a living room, a kitchen and a bed room with KING Size bed. I thought they had made a mistake and so I went down to enquire. The receptionist said, "No sir, it is not a mistake, we have upgraded you to a suite." Wow! I thought, this is the way that God says, "I Love You"
Halleluiah !Praise Be To God.

Chinese New Year Is Almost Over
Well, every year we celebrate Chinese New Year and this year is no exception. Officially we were
given 3 days to celebrate that means 3 days of public holidays. The first day of CNY was on 28th
January and it was a sunday.
After the church service, we started visiting our relatives and friends. As usual, those who have open house provided much goodies to eat.
My wife and I had to control ourselves from eating too much. We have a common goal, that is to lose weight. In the past few years, I had been eating toooooooo much. One day, I took a look at myself in the mirror and My God, I looked like a man who is 4 months pregnant.
So far my wife and I have been taking less rice and we eat more fruits and vegetbles. We hope we can keep this up and in a few months time, we want to look in the mirror and see our tummy as flat as the airport.
